RFeye Node 40-8 – RF Sensor
RFeye Node 40-8 overview
The RFeye 40-8 is a high-performance RF sensor with a 9 kHz – 8 GHz frequency range and a 40 MHz instantaneous bandwidth. The RFeye 40-8 provides operators with precise spectrum monitoring, geolocation, reporting, and advanced signal intercept capabilities by incorporating the latest superheterodyne receiver technology.
This fourth-generation RF sensor has in-built edge processing, reducing backhaul data bandwidth. Excellent phase noise, low noise figure, and superb spurious free dynamic range, coupled with FPGA technology and card design, enable easy integration and exploitation of the SDR and computer platform.
- Real-time continuous spectrum operations
- Finds low-power signals
- Detects signals that have a low probability of intercept
- Compatible with GPS, BeiDou, GALILEO, and GLONASS
- Gateway to powerful software and APIs
- Flexible deployment – rugged indoor or outdoor RF sensors for fixed, temporary, or mobile platforms
